Taking a closer look at the “Black Tie Project” between adidas and David Z’s Ronnie Fieg, we see the timeless Superstar model receive a luxurious treatment of materials including pinstriping, embroidery and even leather wrapped midsoles. The tonal approach works quite well, making for a nice versatile sneaker without compromising the models original intent. Release date is set for Black Friday November 28th, 2008 at David Z, Shoe Gallery in Miami and Major DC, while images of the sneakers can be seen after the jump!

    The sole looks like shit. They should have made it 1 solid piece rather than 2. It ruins the clean lines for me.
